A Study of Relationship Between Mental Health, Emotional Intelligence and Religiosity Among Muslim Students. Journal of Integrated Sciences, 3(2), 193–233.https://journal.iou.edu.gm/jis/article/view/75https://repository.iou.edu.gm/handle/123456789/1002This research explored the relationships between mental health, emotional intelligence and religiosity of Muslim students. 382 students (273 females and 109 males) from higher education institutions participated in the study through a random sampling method. These students belonged to both Muslim majority and Muslim minority countries. General Health Questionnaire, Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, and IIUM Religiosity Scale were adapted and used. Results indicated no significant difference in religiosity and emotional intelligence between males and females or between students from Muslim majority and Muslim minority countries. Religiosity and emotional intelligence were lower among students from non-Islamic institutes and among younger students, while no significant difference in mental health was found across categories. The study found a negative but significant correlation between emotional intelligence and psychological distress, a positive and significant correlation between emotional intelligence and religiosity, and a negative but significant correlation between psychological distress and religiosity. The findings indicate that religiosity and emotional intelligence are high in Muslim students and may aid in maintaining good mental health.enMental healthEmotional intelligenceReligiosityMuslim studentsHigher educationArticle
